The Greek Junta refers to a military regime that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974. It began with a coup d'état on April 21, 1967, led by a group of colonels who aimed to prevent what they perceived as a leftist threat. The junta suspended democratic processes, imposed censorship, and used repression against political opponents. During its rule, the junta faced significant opposition, both domestically and internationally. The regime's authoritarian practices led to widespread protests and unrest. The junta ultimately collapsed in 1974 following a failed attempt to annex Cyprus, which triggered a political crisis and the restoration of democracy in Greece.
